BE ON THE SAFE SIDE WITH THE DTCO<sup>®</sup> 3.0

BE ON THE SAFE SIDE WITH THE DTCO® 3.0 Legally compliant recording

The EC-approved digital DTCO® 3.0 tachograph is the latest generation of digital trip odometers from VDO. Like all the digital tachographs in the DTCO® series, it fulfills the legal requirements of Regulation (EC) 1266/2009.

Please note that for legally compliant archiving you require additional archiving software, such as TIS-Web®. For example.

As with all digital tachographs, when using the DTCO® 3.0, the safety regulations of your particular forwarding business and the design-specific features of your truck must be taken into consideration.

The DTCO® records vehicle-related activities in the integrated mass memory. 

  • Driving, work, on-call and rest periods of drivers and co-drivers.
  • Driving or pulling distance considered when calculating rest periods.
  • Driving speed over the past 168 hours of driving time.
  • Distance traveled since the driver card was inserted last.
  • Usage-specific parameters, e.g. Engine speed, vehicle speed and other work operations or occurrences on the vehicle.

We offer different solutions for data transfer from DTCO® into your fleet management system, depending on the structure of your fleet. From manual saving using the Download Keys to remote downloading via DLD® Short or Wide Range II. More information about the data transfer options.

The VDO Counter constantly displays the remaining driving time and rest periods for the driver.

 

Meaning Drivers will always know how long they still on their break, how long their next break must be and how far they are allowed to drive after their break. They can call up daily and weekly values or obtain an overview of pending compensation periods. The DTCO® also issues a warning if the speed limit will be exceeded and provides timely reminders for periodic inspections and the period of validity of the tachograph card.

INSTALLING AND TESTING THE DTCO® Essential considerations for your digital tachograph

Your DTCO® must be installed, programmed and calibrated by an authorized auto repair shop. It must always be checked for functionality if:

  • The regular inspection is due (every 24 months)
  • A repair has been carried out on the tachograph or the transmission
  • The circumference of the tires is different due to a tire replacement
  • The number of electrical impulses per kilometer of travel has changed
  • The registration number of the vehicle has changed
  • The UTC time on the tachograph deviates by more than 20 minutes
